Filed:

Apr 17, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/405117

Inventors:

Nancy Adinolfe - Shingle Springs CA, US

International Classification:

E01D 1/00
B65G 11/00

US Classification:

14 695, 193 38

Abstract:

An apparatus for loading bikes and motorcycles from the ground to a higher elevation such as into a transport vehicle without lifting. The apparatus permits the user to walk the bike or motorcycle into up a vehicle on a foldable, for easy storage, arcuate ramp. The user holds onto the bike or motorcycle and walks up the ramp from behind the cycle in a first embodiment; or adjacent to the vehicle into the van or truck in a second embodiment. The second embodiment includes a series of spaced steps or U-rungs on one or both sides of the ramp. Both versions fold for easy storage and portability and both embodiments can be separated into two parts for easy linear storage if needed.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for compensating for charging current at a working electrode of an electrochemical cell. And a method for measuring faradaic current at the working electrode. Includes measuring the current at the working electrode while a time-varying potential difference is applied between the working electrode and a reference electrode. And while the applied potential difference is held constant for a short time and the working electrode current is again measured, where this current is the faradaic current. The faradaic current is then filtered from the total current to determine the charging current thereby compensating for double layer charging current in the cell.
